From our previous yoga & art event
“Starting the workshop by spending time painting on canvas under Belmin’s guidance was very therapeutic. Pelin’s visualization-focused instructions during yoga resonated with me as a designer, enhancing my overall movement coherence. I hadn’t encountered such guidance in previous yoga classes. It was a wonderful session; thank you ❤️❤️”
